Bought a Harley only had one key. YES these guys cut barrel keys! About 9 bucks for peace of mind of having an extra. as opposed to a new one direct from Harley one which will set you back 30$+.

Went to Bonafide Security Solutions to look for a gun safe. They showed me the differences between several models and I found one that met me needs and budget. Thier team of professional installers delivered my new gun safe in my basement. The crew of 4 took great care getting the safe down my stairs and set up where I wanted. All-in-all a very enjoyable experience!

Excellent experience! These guys know their business. Answered all of my many questions, and brought up a few potential issues I never would have thought of. Would definitely recommend to others in the Milwaukee area.

Building a new house and Mike and his team were super helpful when deciding what interior and exterior handles I should get. He was able to key them all the same and make suggestions on where I should have deadbolts.

Professional service - needed some replacement high commercial property security keys made. Had to jump through hoops to get landlord to send letter on company letterhead approving the duplicates. They explained that over the phone before I headed over. But good to know Bonafide takes key security seriously. Replacement keys worked fine. Nancy at the counter was friendly and Doug got the keys cut on the spot while I waited in about 10 minutes. Well kept and organized showroom too. Will probably start using them for duplicating my home and other keys if I need any. Big box hardware key duplicates seem to be hit and miss.

Bonafide Security Solutions came highly regarded by a friend when I needed a security system installed for my home. For the technically challenged people like myself, the cameras work great on all my media devices. They was my initial point of contact in the company and he really went out of his way to make sure I was dialed in. The best part about these guys when I need help they are always right there to fix my problems. Excellent customer service!
